New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in April!

 

Library book display shelf with mystery books.

We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out. Take a look at our New Books shelves or the New Media Display for some of the titles, or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in April!  You may also want to take a look at the new and old books on our National Mystery Month display near the front entrance.

We added 288 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title. There is definitely something here for everyone!

Here are ten titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 
  • The dean of Shandong : confessions of a minor bureaucrat at a Chinese university / Daniel A. Bell
  • A wing and a prayer : the race to save our vanishing birds / Anders and Beverly Gyllenhaal
  • Unruly therapeutic : Black feminist writings and practices in living room / Foluke Taylor
  • Without children : the long history of not being a mother / Peggy O'Donnell Heffington
  • How to paint without a brush : the art of Red Hong Yi / Red Hong Yi
  • Carmageddon : how cars make life worse and what to do about it / Daniel Knowles
  • Nine guiding principles for women in higher education / Karyn Z. Sproles
  • This is not Miami / Fernanda Melchor   translated from the Spanish by Sophie Hughes"
  • Poverty, by America / Matthew Desmond
  • Leaving Atlanta / Tayari Jones
This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Alan Kelley (kelleya@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways. 

If you know some titles we should add, we have acquisitions funds available.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection.
